A process for making tricyclodecenyl esters is disclosed. A C<SUB>2</SUB>-C<SUB>4 </SUB>carboxylic acid and a dicyclopentadiene react in the presence of triflic acid under conditions effective to produce the ester. The process gives tricyclodecenyl esters in good yield while avoiding the need to use a large excess of the carboxylic acid. The process efficiently provides fragrance-quality tricyclodecenyl esters from technical grade dicyclopentadienes and/or recycled carboxylic acids.
